I had been getting comments saying you guys wanted to see a more affordable way to screen print.. so thats what we are doing today:)
Specail guest! Kristina! my sister:)
The material today that we are using are embroidery hoops, acrylic paint, glue, panty hose, sharpies, credit cards, (and scissors and paint brushes.. I forgot to mention those) and if you can't find panty hose you can use a thin fabric. I used chiffon. it worked really well:)
First thing you do is cut your fabric to fit your hoop. Then put it in your embroidery hoop. Make sure it's nice and tight.
I just cut off the excess fabric around the hoop..(I kinda wish I didn't.. it made it hard to pull it tight while I was using the hoop)
Now that the hoop is ready, we are going to draw the design on. When drawing or tracing the image on.. you are going to want to do it on the back. This will ensure that when you print it, the image won't be flipped:)
With Kristiana's design she is using black paint on white paper so she is going to cover up everything up on her screen that is white, with glue. I'm just doing the opposite.
If you mess up you can wash out the glue with water before it dries.
Then just let it dry. Once its dry enough put your hoop face down on the paper (or material) and use your card to squeegie it through the fabric. I found that with the chiffon you can keep your card pretty straight up and down with lots of pressure, but with the panty hose.. you need to keep your card flat so it doesn't pull the panty hose as you print it.
I went and rinsed out the paint with water... There were parts that the glue came out so if you want to use it again you will have to touch it up.
If I were to do this again I would have put food coloring in the glue so I could see where I had filled it in when I was touching it up.
The second process.. You prep the hoop just like the first way. The only difference is you use emulsion to get the design in the screen and print your design off on a transparent paper.
Activate your emulsion by putting the sensitizor in and mixing it well. This makes it light sensitive.. so you should coat your screen some where dark.
Then put it some where dark to dry.
Once it is dry you can either draw directly on the screen (from the back) or print off a transparency sheet. Then you can hold the screen up to the sun.
Make sure the design is blocking the sun from curing the emulsion and hold it up to the sun for 10 - 20 seconds.
Then you can take it to you sink and wash it out with water.. just keep the screen infant of the running water and don't use your finger to wash it out.. :(thats how I messed min up:( just let the water do the work.
Once it is rinsed out.. you should be able to see the light shine through where your design was. Let your screen dry.. and then you can print it:)

Screen printing is a fantastic way to cheaply make branded items, or even one off custom pieces. Need a silly t-shirt to surprise a friend with? Printing it yourself is the cheapest way to make that happen! Kids can even get the hang of printing VERY quickly and be apart of the entire process, which is awesome!
Here are a few things that I didn’t cover in the video that I think will give you better results.
Use high dpi screens. These provide finer detail, and have significantly improved my prints.
Have someone hold your frame so that you can use two hands to evenly pull the squeegee.
If you don’t have access to a dryer for heat setting, you can cover the print with a piece of paper and iron it for a minute.
If using a dark material, look for an ink labeled “super opaque”. You’ll get a brighter colored print.
You’ll need a screen and squeegee to start.
Also, some photo emulsion for screen printing.
Add water to the sensitizer, then mix it with the emulsion.
Mix thoroughly until it’s an even green color.
Pour just a small amount onto the screen.
Use the squeegee to spread it evenly on both sides of the screen. Try to get even and full coverage by alternating directions and sides.
Dry the emulsion in front of a fan and IN THE DARK.
After it’s dry, quickly lay your artwork, backwards, on the back of the screen. You can print your art on transparencies at most office supplies stores or copy centers.
Tape the art in place, then lay on a piece of glass to hold it against the screen.
Apply a very bright light for 30-45 minutes.
You can also use sunlight, but the time may vary depending on cloud cover and placement.
The areas covered by your art do not get exposed when you remove the transparency.
Use a light spray and soft toothbrush to wash out the unexposed emulsion.
Be careful not to use too much force when spraying it out or you will remove emulsion around your design as well.
Use painters tape to mask any areas that you don’t want to print yet, or areas where the emulsion isn’t intact.
Layout your shirt on smooth, flat surface and remove wrinkles.
Place your design where you want it to be printed.
Lay a thick bead of ink above the art, extended past both ends. Be sure to add extra ink above large areas to be printed.
Even though I’m working alone here, you’ll have better luck to have someone hold your screen, then use two hands to evenly pull the squeegee fully across your screen.
Remove the screen and wash out all of the ink before it dries. After the ink dries, run your shirt through a clothes dryer for 5 minutes to heat set the print.
The screens can be reused by cleaning them with emulsion remover.
Spread a small amount across both sides of the screen.
Then use a hose to wash out the emulsion until the screen is clean. Dark inks will stain the material of the screen, but this will not affect future prints. Just make sure to remove all of the emulsion. Second channel: bit.ly/iltms-2
